Thoughts: It was just another average match with little of note. I liked Koji doing a plancha outside. They tried to do what they could but it was the four just trying to find some common ground between them with none of them doing anything but average wrestling. This also went longer than it needed to which didn't help it.

Thoughts: They didn't have enough time here. They got in what they could and we got a taste of both guys but not the whole thing. What we got was easily the best match on the show at this point but it wasn't what it would have been if Paul was a bit younger.

The ref holds both their hands up after and Paul nails Neon. Neon then tries to superkick him and hits mounted shots. Paul then runs.

Thoughts: Kush worked the arm some here before going for his submissions later which was good. Mist didn't lead up to the 619 that well. It was better early on than it was later on and I just thought it was average.

Overall thoughts: I wasn't a fan of this show. Lucha and US Wrestling have differences but also similarities with faces/heels, comebacks, heat and technical wrestling. Instead of working on those, we got a lot of bad brawling here all throughout which wasn't that good. It was a long and uninteresting show and I'd give it a 4 out of 10. I wouldn't recommend this one.
